In this week’s NOW, I have a quick chat with a snowbound Emmy Rossum about her supporting role in Richard LaGravenese’s surprisingly okay Beautiful Creatures — which is one of several films opening today in the hopes of capturing Valentine’s Day date-night audiences.
Its competition: A Good Day to Die Hard, which kinda sucks, and Safe Haven, a new Nicholas Sparks joint which Rad sees for the product it is. But really, you should go see Warm Bodies if you haven’t yet. It’s genuinely romantic, even with the brain-eating.
Also in this week’s issue: My list of Bruce Willis’ Top 5 performances, and a look at this year’s TIFF Next Wave festival. So, there. Plenty of stuff to go around!
